Kevin Munch will face Adrian Lewis in tonight's final match after defeating Aleksandr Oreshkin in straight sets.
The German, who came through the German Qualifiers, started brightly. Taking the first set to nil. A 13 dart leg eased Munch into the match, before breaking the quirky Russian's throw in 16. Munch rounded off the set with a 15 darter, and a 108 finish.
Much tailed off in the second set, his average dropping from the 102 of the first set, down to a match ending 84.
That allowed Oreshkin to get a leg on the board in leg 2, finally clinching the double on dart number 24. Oreshkin's only leg a break of throw. As if often said, a break isn't a break without a hold, and Munch responded by taking the next 2 legs. The decider in 19 after missing 6 match darts.
Munch will now have to regroup before facing former 2 time world champion Adrian Lewis for a spot in the second round. Should he play to his ability, Lewis will have a tough game on his hands.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
